I'm not sure if I like your turn play. You positive it's getting 3-bet by BB? I think I woulda 3-bet myself. I probably would've led, too, but I think I like the check-raise due to MP.

I'm guessing you lost to quads. But I'm not folding there. Dude could have Q7 or some crap. I'd probably just cap and pray.

I disagree completely. This is an interestingish hand because we're talking about monster percentages. Lets be honest, what hands are the villians going nuts with on each street?

Believe it or not, its a staple poker hand about dealing with big betting. This situation does come up every few sessions, and the money amount we're talking is worth posting.

10-27-2005, 12:59 AM
Fold, he's got quads /images/graemlins/grin.gif

I think you just call, dont' cap. This seems weak/tight but keep in mind this guy has aggression of .9 and he hasn't let his foot off the gas once after the flop hit him. Ever opportunity he's bet or raised. This feels like a set over set and I think you just call here. I know it's possible that's the worst AA ever played, or maybe a *creative* 74 or q7s, but I think you're seeing quads more than half the time here. Call it.

when button doesn't cap the turn but 3bets that river the only logical hand is 44. if he's acting up, ok, but we still have to worry bb who just raised the river. if he caps (and it looks like he will), they both need to not have quads 1 time in 9. i think its a fold.

baronzeus
10-27-2005, 02:19 AM
just cap. it matters but i think you are ahead of both of them 33% of the time when they have A7-72.

baronzeus,
button cold caps with a 7 on the flop? BB shuts down on the turn with a 7 after getting 3 bet then 3 bets both of you? the 4 has to have helped him.

[/ QUOTE ]

so after it's been raised and 3bet preflop, the bb raises the flop with middle pair, then the button caps the flop, also with middle pair? keep in mind these guys' AF are .9 and 1.2, respectively.

if you look at the action and consider what odds you're getting to showdown on the river a fold really isn't that crazy, even with 30+ BBs in the pot.

i'd cap. i'm just not good enough to give a guy credit for quads. i do see the merits of what others have said about calling, but i the heat of the battle especially if you are multitabling i think i would reflexively raise. what the heck it's worth the price of admission to see quads anyway right? i've spent more money on less entertaining stuff.

Don't like your turn play at all. I would lead it. Failing that I would check/3-bet when you get the chance.

River, hmm... is either Button or BB calling PF with Q7s or 74s? Q7s perhaps. Actually I think Qc7c is the most likely hand for BB given his flop raise. But look at Button's turn call/river 3-bet. And look at his aggression numbers. How many hands do you have on these guys? You are getting 18 to 1 immediate, though of course BB will cap the times he has 77 so you are really a bit worse off than that.

Tough one. It's really only an issue of how well you trust your numbers/how often Button is insane. The thing I can't get past is that insane/tilting people don't become sane on the turn then go insane on the river again after a card that could not have helped them hits. Yeah, folding is best. Of course it's not a big deal to call. While playing I wouldn't be able to think through this quickly enough to fold. Capping would be idiotic though, truly.

Edit: also note that only one of them can have Q7s.

But the one part I disagree here, is that I would still cap it (if I don't fold) feeling 95% behind, because if I don't the other guy is going to everytime he has me beat. I 'm not positive, but it feels like its getting capped anyways unless he has Q7(and even then quite likely)

B Dids
10-27-2005, 12:55 PM
Maybe it's just me not getting hip to "fast playign is the new slowplaying", but the flop feels more like Q7 than 44.

I think you're good often enough to cap here, but it's a crying cap. Based on their numbers, the players seem like the type to get more out of line, and you don't need to be facing quads here. If you have better reads on them than this (which would be nice, just posting the numbers is pretty meaningless IMO), I guess you can call.

He has a 7 with a weak kicker, that is a much more logical read than 44

[/ QUOTE ]Umm...both would be slowplayable hands. I'm pretty sure a player that waits to raise top 2 here on the turn, would equally likely raise bottom set. And notice how each player only put in one raise on the flop. Nobody went "crazy." And for who? There are plenty of players on pp who just jam 77 or 44 on this flop. I'm sure you know this from your experience. Btw from their stats, are you sure they even know what slowplaying is? This is a hand where I'm struggling to see if we have ONE player beat, let alone both. I'll admit there are two combinations for bbs hand (Q7s, or 77) You lose half the time, because I can't see button having anything different than 4-4. Study the action.

This makes no sense. Even if BB will cap Q7 99% of the time just calling would still be better, because you will save a bet that other 1% of the time.

He is capping 90% of the time, so why not cap it when he has wacko hand too? We know every hand is going to showdown already. And we are assuming we are winning over 10% of the time here otherwise we wouldnt be calling anyways right?(cuz the best choice is folding! :P)Not that I could get myself to fold.

are you saying that just becasue the pot's really big and you're never supposed to fold in a big pot? just consider the odds of showing down for christ's sake - it's not like calling one more on the river in a huge pot where you only have to be right 1 in 20 or even 30 times.

10-27-2005, 01:58 PM
Notice that the button did not cap the turn, but 3-bet the river. Combine this with the fact that he called a raise cold pre-flop and I can't think of any hand but 44 that he could have. The BB's play is consistent with a monster: 77 and Q7s are the leading candidates. Since we're talking about 40+ vpips here and a huge pot, I don't think folding is an option since there's always an outside chance they're not playing logically. I like a call and don't like a raise on the river.

With players that have been showing constant aggression since the flop on a relatively dry board, we worry about three types of hands: 1) Big pairs 2) Two pair combinations 3) Sets. When the two bottom cards end up pairing and villains are still going wild, the likelyhood of a big pair is reduced, which leaves us with two pair and sets. Although two pair combinations are much more likely than pocket 4s or 7s, as the action continues the probability increases that quads are in play. That explains the hesitation of some posters to even cap this board. You could make an argument for going a few more bets if there was no cap, one of the villains folded and the other was a known maniac who overplays everything and is tilting at the moment, but the OP didn't include these reads in his post. Therefore, advocating 19 bets, even as hyperbole, is not the shining wisdom you might view it to be.

That would imply that he's using threaded mode, and I think we all hope Josh is WAY smarter than that.

My whole point to the OP was that he's not mucking this hand for four bets, ever. If they made quads there's nothing magical he can do to know that. What I said about nienteen bets was an exagerration of saying "your hand is good here almost always" ram and jam.

OK man. But for someone who advocates limping aces for deception, you can see that perhaps we wouldn't be that quick to grasp your cunning hyperbole?

i think james282 made a post about overlimping AA for deception too. although i only read it in passing.

folding this river sucks. 4betting is fine for the reasons sthief09 pointed out.

sorry, you can't fold top boat

cap it. the reason for this is because better hands will cap while worse hands might just call. you're going 4 bets no matter what if you're behind and no one is folding to your cap. you gain a bet when you somehow win but lose one when you're behind.

[/ QUOTE ]
This is what I was thinking, you've got to cap. Yes, you may be behind to quads, but if you are it is going to be capped anyhow and you absolutely CAN'T fold.

I don't think this is where we should be making "smart" laydowns either. When the betting action is crazy, there is a chance that someone is just going apeshit with a crap hand. I also thought there was a chance the two players were colluding.

Against my will, I capped. BB called and button FOLDED! BB showed J4d and MHIG. It's amazing what people are capable of sometimes.

I would keep an eye out on these guys, as this hand should raise suspicion of collusion.

alright, i'm glad that after some explanation you saw my point. however, in regards to limping with AA for deception, i dont advocate it. i do however, advocate not playing the same hand the same way every time. that was the point of the post, if there ever was a situation where you would limp with AA, i thought that the one i found myself in to be just that. I noticed that I ALWAYS raised PF with AA, KK, QQ, And AK from the SB, so i decided that a change in routine might fit this scenario, and it would add some deception to my game, and seeing how i play with the same 100-150 players on a daily basis, it would be useful in further hands.


I didnt advocate it, i just wanted to see when and where people didnt always raise PF with AA.

10-28-2005, 06:55 PM
I raise 100% of the hands that I open. You guys can try to figure out my range, because I feel that's about as deceptive as it gets.

I've checked into some other plays and watched them play seperately on different tables. The research showed that they are just flat out retarded.

Quick story.....

One of the players I signed up for Party Poker a year ago is abolutely terrible. One day, he called me because he got home and his account was frozen. He didn't know why, so I called up Party's investigations department and represented him as his affiliate.

The lady on the phone told me that he was locked out because he was part of a ring of colluders that was under investigation. I asked her who the other players were, and when she told me, I assured her there was no collusion going on. I told her to check their locations, inter-account transfers, shared tables, and buddy list PMs. After finding he was clean, she released his account and actually said to me, "Does your friend know how bad he is at poker?". I told her he does and that sometimes that looks like collusion, but it definitely isn't. He was excused, but the other 3-4 guys in the collusion ring had their accounts permanently locked and lost their money.

This really happened.
